I'm not building it (I love stock internals). What I meant was that the motor was coming apart to uncover the source of the clanking. Lucky for me I didn't get very far.

My plans are to restore it (almost fully) and lightly modify it (boost gauge, MBC, 2.5" exhaust, front mount, and a more aggressive cam). I need to do something about the tires on this car, too. They're too large and they rub. The sh*t needs a lot of work, actually. I'm trying to keep my costs way down (as usual), so it's kind of frustrating anticipating the work I need to do.

On the plus side, my body work on the hood (and respray) looks great. I'm very surprised, as this is my first attempt at body work and paint.
